    I’ve had a few motors built in Peterborough — there have been slight differences — decals, for example.

    Perhaps you do have a motor that was born with a powerhead mated to an odd-ball body.

    frankr – were there Gale builds going on in Peterborough as late as ’62 ?

    1963 supposedly was the last year for Gale production, both US and Canada. However there were some strange happenings showing up even after that, which I can’t explain. Model numbers that don’t exist, for instance. Perhaps they had to make a few more motors to fill Ward’s purchase orders? Just conjecture on my part.
